Ponderosa Basin, California

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Another GNIS screwup. Does not appear on topographic maps, the coordinates show a small localized depression near a spring. I'm finding newspapers.com hits for "the Ponderosa Basin" and a few real estate listings. This makes it clear that it's a subdivision. I'm also finding a few name drops for Ponderosa Basin chapel, which is in the area, but has a postal code for Mariposa, indicating that this likely doesn't have a PO. Looks to be a minor geographic feature where a subdivision was later built. Probably too minor to pass WP:GEOLAND as a small basin with little recorded history; the subdivision also fails WP:GEOLAND, GNG is not met. Hog Farm Bacon 17:48, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. No post office.  It has a fire station, a chapel and a mutual water company.  I confirmed the following points of the AfD submission: The water company page has a bit of history and states that it is a subdivision created in the 1960's.  Newspapers.com indicates that lots started selling in 1965.  There was a fire in 2008. This area has at best trivial coverage.  Cxbrx (talk) 22:05, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to be a suburban housing development. No indication of notability. Glendoremus (talk) 03:27, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
